I've been traveling alot in the last days.....


No these are of course not my photos. I love going through photo archives to find inspiration and one of my favorite is Guardian's 24 hours in pictures. Everyday they post around 10-15 of the best images taken around the world. Many of them are so beautiful! But of course the harsh reality in some of them can be saddening. Like the first picture which is so inspiring and has wonderful colors and movement.....but at the same time is so horrible. I have a huge folder on my laptop where I save my favorite photos from this archive. I thought I'd share some of them with you.

The last one reminds me of the short film Le Ballon Rouge from 1956. It's so beautiful and if you haven't seen it maybe you should watch it now?
